Pretty in Pesto
Maybe it was the long winter without end. Or the snowstorm in late April. Or, belonging to a Food blog where we talked about pesto for 3 pages.

However, while visiting an herb site, I found a link for this book and without hestitation, ordered it from Amazon. I've had it two days, and have made four of the pestos and 6 of the dishes...need I say more....it's FABULOUS!!!

Classic pesto, sage pesto, anchovy pesto...the list goes on and on. And it arrived right when I was having the family over for Mother's Day, hence the mad dash for dinner and lunch dishes.

For the list price of $5.95 or less (through Amazon) you CAN'T go wrong picking up this little book for yourself, and pesto loving friends!
